Skopjeposter Reviews

This is one of the worlds most important student poster competition which promotes students to create and share ideas and visual communication underlining the global issues. This project is a great chance for future graphic designers of graphic art which will introduce them to the world.

We received this proposition to work on raising HIV/AIDS issues with pleasure. We, as member of Red Cross International will make efforts to pass on the effects of our work internationally. This should be positive example to other NGOs how should we act on such important problems.

Aleksandra Valkanovska, Red Cross Macedonia

I feel blessed if I can help to inform youth of the importance of prevention from this irremediable disease, which concerns 35 million people in the world and I hope we will accomplish our goal and to reach as many as possible.

Skopje Poster is a good way to warn and educate the big audience. A poster, however, is not a solution to the problem. It reacts to what happens, and shapes the message into an effective visual form. A good poster challenges people to act. The International Student Poster Competition in Skopje is a great place for young designers to step forward and show their vision about world.

Kari Piippo, jury member of Skopjeposter

Professional life is very important because it compliments the aspirations of a successful person; for a designer it is no different. Skopje Poster is a motivation and personal development platform. For me it was a great start, and on it's 2011 edition it was one of the contests that saw the begining of my life as a poster designer.

I informed The 6th Skopjeposter competition so late, but i was so serious to participate because of its subject, it so interested me. The subject that I chose for my poster was one my most important concerns. And now I'm so proud that my work won this competition. I'm hopeful that the Skopjeposter competition will be held for years and years, and follow the special topics!

Call It was hard to decide which segment of the Regional Conference Skopje Poster 2014 I should emphasize. Perhaps the concept and the ideas that change the boundaries of educational methods in graphic design? Or precise organization, inspiring presentations, phenomenal exhibition of students' posters? Maybe companion, warm hospitality, a chance to meet with the old friends and heady southern wine with a friendly face and tireless hosts? Or a pleasant hotel, surprising National Archaeological Museum, walks next to the Vardar and unbelievable Skopje? I'll leave this to the future participants to own judgment declared the winner among the qualities that, next to the best graphic design, can be found in this southern oasis of Europe. One thing I know: no way you should reject the call from Plakart people.

In the time of social inequality, economy and environmental decline the Skopje Poster team plays a very important role. Asking questions observing human destiny, they invite all the studious graphic artists to take part in common thinking and common actions. Thus the young artist generation gets a chance to stand up as a world-changer force, gets an opportunity to show themselves and their works to the curious audience and the international profession as well. I hereby urge all the restless-hearted fellow artists to participate in the contest organised by the Skopje Poster.

I think nowadays it's really difficult to create artistic graphics that can make peope think. Many of the works submitted to this competition are successful in this aspect. It's a great challange for designers to find a path where nobody else has been and it's a great joy for the viewer to see such quality graphics that they never seen before.

Five years after my participation in the jury of the Skopje student poster competition I remember the days of friendship, warm hospitality but especially
the high level of work of the participants and the excellent organization also. I wish you all the best.

Dimitris Arvanitis, jury member of Skopjeposter

Skopje Poster is a great platform to make your first steps in graphic design. As for me there are three cardinal points to describe the competition: it's simple of use and really made for students, it allows to speak up on serious themes, it gets together design stars to judge the works and finally... it's just awesome!!!

I love Skopje Poster's vision of design as a democratic tool, the idea that design can change (a little bit) the world, can help people to be more free-minded. Can be a seed of change. Once into the forest there was a big fire; a hummingbird was flying with a little bit of water within his beak in attempt to extinguish the fire: “What are you doing? - asked the lion laughing – what do you think you can do with this few drops?”. “I do my job” answered the bird. This is the idea that moves social designers. And this is the idea I found among my Skopje's friends. My stay in Skopje was delicious, amiable and interesting people. A memory I keep in my hart with great pleasure. Skopje Poster is place where design is still seen with hope and joy. Because, as Giulio Carlo Argan once said: "Those who chose not to design, already decided to be designed.

Sergio Olivotti, jury member of Skopjeposter

I had a pleasure to be invited to Skopje Poster Festival and to exhibit my works at Skopje Design Week. During my stay there I had opportunity to meet talented people all over the world and attend inspiring exhibitions. Skopje Poster was wonderful experience and made me feel welcome every step of the way.

Skopje Poster Festival is “the contributive spirit towards international design education and design culture”. With sincere wishes for the International Skopje Poster Festival to contribute for many years to come, towards a sustainable and intellectual future of superior quality.

Prof. Ayşegül İzer, Dogus University, jury member of Skopjeposter

The City of Skopje is proud and pleased to have the opportunity to support this youth initiative which brings the creativity of youth, as well individualism, healthy unspoiled intellectual honesty and critical thought in the perception of the states in society. This student project is important due to two facts. It strives to create better social opportunities for creative young designers and for their promotion worldwide and also articulates with the idea to use design as a mean to bring semiotic messages for a better future.

Mr. Koce Trajanovski, Mayor of City of Skopje

This manifestation is practically a prove that the art is indeed a mean of bringing the world together. Plakart‘s efforts from its establishment in 2007 have put a lot of energy in the development and promotion of the art and culture, especially in the progress of the distinctive arts as the design and multimedia are. At last, I would like to wish all young artists never to accept the world the way it is, nor to leave it as it exists.

Mrs. Elizabeta Kancheska Milevska, Minister of Culture of the Republic of Macedonia

It give me a great pleasure to accept the invitation given to the City of Warsaw to cooperate in the International Student Poster Competition, Skopje. The entire project is of great interest as it involves fine arts students from many countries. It is only through the promotion of intercultural dialogue and common learning that we can develop an open and a tolerant relationship between nationalities.
I would like to congratulate the organisers, PLAKART, for initiating this exhibition.

In my opinion, organising an International Student Poster Competition on the subject of Tolerance by young people in this young country is a great political and artistic event. Many interesting posters created by students from all over the world have been submitted to this challenging competition. I would like to congratulate the organisors, who are my former students, which makes my pleasure even greater.

Prof. Lech Majewski, jury member&Honorary President of Skopjeposter

The importance of this of this competition lies in the fact that the participants are students, but also the topics leaving a mark on this new and further generations. Changing awareness among youth is very encouraging endeavor. In this respect, the Skopje ISPC is very important and deserves every support. It is also important that the results of this movement reach out the streets, rather than only catalogues and gallery walls.

Prof. Savaş Çekiç, jury member of Skopjeposter

In the month of June 2008, the Museum of City of Skopje met Dryness and dankness, Silence and noise, Dark and light, Humility and unprudishness, Ice and fire, blackness and redness…we have passed the exam of the tolerance.

I believe the project is an important step in promoting dialogue and tolerance across the region, and that involving students in this activity is a positive step. The organisers made sure all the arrangements were in palce for a professional selection process. I will always remember my visit in Skopje as an experience which I wholeheartedly enjoyed and which I look forward to repeating in the not-too-distant future.

Skopjeposter competition produced an excellent job in helping the next generation of graphic designers to focus on the major causes and gives them the opportunity to influence or inspire their neighbouring citizens, renewing a long tradition of activism of graphics in favour of the human race.

I am very proud that I visited Skopje, after very long time. To this town I honour my carrier. It was hard work to select the winners of the Money for Free V ISPC/Skopjeposter competition. I felt both inspired and jealous to couple of authors for theirs works. Organisers are very nice and I applaud to them and to Laze for the job greatly done. (…)This is the only way that we can expect design to be more popularised and to become part of the everyday life. In our region it is necessary design to be forced as important part of the democratic communications in visual form.

I received the invitation from Skopjeposter with pleasure. There is a great exchange of art that is happening here. Regarding all i saw at Skopje Poster Festival i concluded that Macedonia has very talented young artists, but I am not sure if the country gives them enough opportunities to show their talent. Unfortunately, business people and politicians don’t see any money in design. (…) I am dyslectic. Because of that I have little difficulties with writing and reading, but at the same time I learned to memorize images. That’s positive aspect that helped me throughout my carrier(…)The best illustrators in America are my former students which makes me very proud. It is through students that we continue to live on.
